Emo Kids: How Young is Too Young?

Too young to be an Emo kid?  Usually when we speak of “Emo kids,” we’re talking about high-schoolers or college students who have adopted the emotionally sensitive, dark-dressing culture as their own.  But I’ve heard recently about a trend that emphasizes the “kid” in Emo kid. In other words, more and more children under 13 are getting involved in the lifestyle. While it’s fine for anyone, no matter how young, to choose the hairstyle and clothing style and even the music of the Emos, please keep an eye out for your brothers and sisters and little cousins.

There have been reports of some getting piercings or tattoos or cutting themselves, as per some of the darker Emo trends.  Also, kids should wait until they’re a bit older before they start despairing about how terrible life is and how emotionally distraught they are.  Emos, talk to your kid siblings and encourage them to be kids first, Emo second.

    Hi been surfing the net for emo haircuts for short hair and found your blog reg s: How Young is Too Young? | emo-news.com. You relly know your stuff! I\’d like to see more posts here. Will definitely bookmark this one and come back.

    excuse me!!!
    you are a hypocrite!
    telling people to “wait until they are older just to
    cut themselves!or get tats or piercings!
    no! i am an emo kid… and my little brother looks up to me!
    if he has problems, i don’t tell him to cut himself!
    that should be his choice…
    it is an addiction. and thats something allot of people don’t know…
    so before you go around telling people what emo is…
    think what it is really about…
    emo people don’t conform.
    and this is just basically a blog from whoever wrote this
    who probably isn’t even emo…
    telling others what it should be.
    don’t ever say something that you don’t even know the meaning to.

    grade school is probly 2 young but middleand+ should me a good enough age imean im in 8th and im emo and bein emo should b an self choice but atleast middle should be a good start not grade school

  7. Jessica on June 10th, 2008 at 5:57 am

    look being emo isnt all about emotional distress and cutting. Emo is now more of a fasion type. not all “emo kids” cut, pierce, or get tattoos. being emo isnt being dark and demonic thats more gothic. to be emo you have to have the hair & clothing style. to be a true emo you also listen to the music like my chemical romance and bands kinda like them. you dont have to cut urself to be emo. i think that you dont have to be a certian age to be emo. any age is perfect.

  8. Emma on June 14th, 2008 at 3:46 am

    Wow. You suck. Just because someone is under 13, it doesn’t mean they can’t be emo. I’m 11, and I’m interested in emo, thank you very much. I actually think of 13-year-olds when I think of emo. I’m not depressed, I just like the style. I don’t cut, either. Cutting is NOT a part of emo. I just know how much the world sucks, and how hard some people have it. Screw you.

  9. Emma on June 14th, 2008 at 3:46 am

    I’m in grade 6, by the way.

  10. (RANDOM EMO CHICK) on June 14th, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    I am 10 yrs old and I am so emo. I have the hair the clothes and everything else to be emo. My parents dont even know what emo means and I do wear color emo isnt wearing black and grey. Thats gothic. Even tho i am emo I do wear pink becuz its not the color you wear but the style of what you wear. I dont have tats or piercings and I dont cut my self. People believe being Emo is believing in the “DEVIL” but its not. I know the meaning of emo. So go get urself a dictionary!

  11. Lila on June 14th, 2008 at 3:20 pm

    Yeah, I’m emo. So what? I don’t dress emo, or act emo around my friends. I cut myself So what? I’m only 12. So what? And I agree with Sarah. You don’t know anything about how it feels or what it’s like, so maybe you should find another stupid topic to talk about on your know-it-all blog. It’s our choice. Not anyone else’s. I can’t believe it. I was just surfing the web, and I find this insulting blog. Great. Makes me feel a lot better about myself. Thanks.

  12. barbie beatdown on June 14th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    emo is a trend. it dont mean you cut. and you can just say”im an Emo kid”you dont label yourself. you who you are. im called a scene kid. i except that. whatever. idc. i think im barbie beatdown and nobody can change who i am. theres not emo,normal, or scene in this world. your you.

  13. xXx on June 14th, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    look, i used to cut myself years ago and have wised up and quit doing so, but am still often called emo and consider myself so. To anyone emo out there forget what everyone says just be yourself, if your emo to conform then you’ve got the wrong idea, go buy some hollister clothing. Consider where the abreviation comes from… emotional… hair, clothes, piercings and cutting are not prerequisites for strong, desperate emotion

  16. shadow dude on June 15th, 2008 at 10:56 am

    yeah what the guy said about cutting them selves is an addiction it is ive turnt from chav to nobody from nobody to hippy from hippy to goth from goth to metal head and now metal head to emo do u know how frustrating it is and when i cut myself for the first time i relised its like an adreneline rush and then you just wanna keep doing it

  17. shadow dude on June 15th, 2008 at 10:58 am

    Emo may be shortened from the word ‘emotional’ but come on, emotional does not mean depressed. Depressed does not mean cutting themselves. Cutting does not mean emo.
    Anyone can feel emotional whether it be happy, lonely, annoyed, hyper. They are all emotions.
    Anyone can feel depressed, whatever age, sex, race. Anyone!
    Anyone can cut themselves if they feel the need to do so. No matter what their ‘label’.
    People should stop stereotyping everyone because what they say they are, what music they like and how they dress.
    People should just live life as they are, being who they are.
    *Rant over!*

  20. Emofriend on June 15th, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    hi my friend is emo, but she doesn’t cut herself, she doesn’t tattoo herself, she does get pierced, but she just loves the way they dress, but she doesn’t worship the devil, and i myself, i dont really like the style but i accept it, because it’s nice that there are different kinds of people, but every age is perfect to be an emo, unless your parents cloth you that way,
    i think that if you want to dress up like emo style you should do it no matter if you are 9 or 20..

  21. darkpixi on June 15th, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    omg! i agree with emma and random emo chick. im 11yrs old and im emo. and i dont cut eather and you shouldent go round saying stuff about being to young to!!

    ok u know all the ppl saying they r emo lmfao they r all posers and shut the fuck up its not ur chocie its theirs so fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!-.-

  23. Sammi on June 16th, 2008 at 4:40 am

    I am emo. Im 13…i cut myself because i have depression, sure i have almost everything i want, but i cant control my feelings. And also, kids should be able to chose how they dress, its part of finding who they are. Im not in control of a lot of things in my life, but the two things i am in control of are
    a. cutting, and the marks i make on my arms/wrists/hips
    b. how i dress.

    everyone is pretty much alone, nobody is gonna be there for you in the end, and its what ive realized, and people need to wake up and accept that.

  24. bianca on June 16th, 2008 at 10:15 am

    salut….nu cred ca stilul emo se potriveste cu tinerii din ziua de azi….si faza e ca noi ii intelegem dar daca ei cred asa ceva…..si nu va mai omorati….ca dumnezeu eo dat viata sa o pretuim nu din cauza unei porcari sa nu o mai avem…..asa ca …..emo=eu ma omor….voi deschide un blog impotriva acestei generatiii

  25. ListeningToEmo on June 16th, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    Emo is a music genre. You cannot be an emo that would be like someone was r’n'b. Some ppl think of it like lifestyle, but they don’t cut. Ppls who cut are cutters not emos. YOU CANNOT BE AN EMO IT’S A MUSIC F**KING GENRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are all posers. Screw u!

  26. ListeningToEmo on June 16th, 2008 at 4:03 pm

  27. mocha on June 16th, 2008 at 5:28 pm

  28. pete on June 16th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    iam also 12 and iam emo but i dont say it much or label myself emo ,because then i would be called sene or a poster , so i just keep it to myself ,i do cut myself just for reasons not to be more emo then iam , iam emo because this is how iam i dont want to be what my family wants me to be and i dont look up to them in any way , and i never want to be them ever! and u know what every single day in school or some where else you always get looked at in a wird way but i dont care because all emos are themself in a true way ,AND THEY ARE NOT FAKE LIKE PERPY PEOPLE , by the way we all born to be different right ! so evey emo person has their rights to be themself no matter what age they are , so just be proud of yourself and what you are, dont ever let someone held you back because they are the ones who are going to be held back not you,so keep writing poety about your feelings ,or what ever you every day ,and what you belive in,i myself hang out what my true emo friends who like me the way i am, but somtimes i hang out in my colset writing poety and about my life or my feelings or emotion stuff sometimes when i read it i feel if i want to cry about all the painful things i went thro to be myself and stand for my rights and you should to ……………

  29. pete on June 16th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    hello its me pete again by the way emos are really nice and sweet poeple to be around with, and when you have prombles it good to talk to them because they do understand. by the way who ever wrote that that artical about emo kids that say how young is it to young well i think she/he doesnt even know what she/he is talking about, because it not even true its more like fake , i also think if all emos come togetther well we would of make a better job then she /he , because all emos has being thro a lot to be come what they are no matter what age they are ,so we all emos have our rights in every single way… so this goes to you f**k you! to the person who wrote this artical. and who ever hates emos then you better know that emos are born every day and they are really great people who also has feelings…..

  30. karl on June 16th, 2008 at 9:35 pm

    Emo’s arent really depressed there just trying to make us belive that so they can take off the world
    the reason they cut them selves is to gather there blood for an “emofying gun”
    that turn’s people emo
    and the goth’s are in on it too there just waiting for the emo’s too take care of the week minded then the goth’s will go after the strongest dont listen to anybody except me go hide the apocalypse is imminent close your doors hide the kids dont be brave and fight back you might win over 20 or even a hundred emos but they will just come faster and harder

  32. kati on June 17th, 2008 at 10:01 am

    Oh I forget cutting is a affliction and anybody can do this!!!!

  33. Terra on June 17th, 2008 at 1:48 pm

    ok i see what ur saying about the whole age thing kids should wait.but really its there choice no1 should ever tell somebody to cut.but the kids see it as a way of releasing what they feel.i for one am emo and i have been cutting scence i was 10.no one told me to i just felt like it.then it became a pure addiction now i am 15 and just now accually dressing the style of emo.but ur blog is a good one.sorry no1 else really understood what you ment in it.as an emo kid i c things from a very dif. point of view

  34. hvitemasked on June 17th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    wtf? u can`t just tell people when they can do things.
    and I don`t think there is any spesial age for that.

  35. Mr Emo on June 17th, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    WTF Emos are scary the emos i have seen are gay TBH!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And i should know this my sister is emo.. and she loves minge

  36. Willbe on June 18th, 2008 at 12:07 pm

    i don´t really know what an emo is, but i want to know it… at the first time i heard of emo i knew that they wear color and don´t cutting themselves!!! it´s a very stupid expectation… i thought of becoming an emo but first i want to know what it really is!!! are you often listen to music? i thought it´s more a matter of clothes… i think the style of emo-boys is more beautiful… i didn´t see many emo-girls but i more like to see the emo-boys…so: can someone tell me what an emo really is? and some clothes? thank you…

  37. emo princessa on June 18th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    oki.first of all emo dont have an certain age..cuttin is a very good way to express mi feelings..its also a gd way to relax when am stressed.my life sucks and the whole emo thing is my kind of life..the music the clothes and the whole attitude is ME.so what

  38. uknowme on June 18th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

    How young is too young?”WTF your not emo because you get up one morning and take your sisters jeans and eyeliner, being emo is a way of life and, if your a true emo you know that the average person will never see half the shit you have in a day then they will in a life time.just cus u dress emo doesn’t make u emo”
    thats something a true emo would probably say im not emo but I know what is and what it is int emo starts at any age depending on how they start.
    i used to mock emos
    now i dont (i hope i dont turn emo what emos go through day by day is horrible)

  39. mum of an emo on June 18th, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    my 10 year old son is an ‘emo/greebo’, whatever that means. as far as we know it is all about the look. not cutting yourself etc. I hope we have instilled enough comon sense into him not to do things like that. I think if he did it would not be to do with a style, but he would be suffering from deep emotional problems!! As a parent I hope that we would not let things get that bad before helping!

  40. jrockxxx on June 18th, 2008 at 11:19 pm

    emos are all different dumbass. your sister isn’t the queen of all emos. and just because you know someone who’s emo, don’t think you know everything about them, ever.

  41. kesley on June 19th, 2008 at 2:40 am

    uhh not all emos fit your stupid steriotype!!!!! i am emo and i am not all crazy and emoional all the time…sure i get emotional but tha doesn ot man i cut my self every tme i get mad or something!!!!

    sweet.

  46. anna on June 20th, 2008 at 5:34 am

    hey, just browsing through pretty much, noticing some interesting stuff.

    I have to agree, “emo” is a fashion, just like prep, goth and skater.
    I know plenty of people who are not emo who cut themselves, myself included. I also know plenty of people who are emo who cut themselves. I also know people who are emo but do not cut.

    It depends on the person and their personal situation.
    I think a style that glorifies emotional problems, self injury and suicide is just sick (as in sick in the head).

    You should be yourself and stick to your personal beliefs. Don’t say “Oh, I’m gonna cut because someone else I know does it,”
    It’s like drugs. It IS an addiction, and you will get hooked.

    I’m all for Emo as a style. I love the clothes, the hair, the glasses.

    But, it is a STYLE, which shouldn’t be confused with a LIFESTYLE.
    Thanks,
    anna

  47. kevin on June 20th, 2008 at 10:52 am

    there are no emo’s their just them selfes people say that some are emo but thats just because their different everybody is different so please stop this stupid discussion and live your life.

You really do know your thing! I\’m gonna bookmark you and come back in a few to see your new posting! Looking forward to! Cheers!

    well im 15
    and all
    i have to say about
    this is that i am emo
    i do cut myself it is an addiction
    and i like boys thats it:)

  51. megan on June 21st, 2008 at 7:17 am

    Dude being emo dont mean that ur cuttin urself and peircing everythin on ur bod lol… i mean ppl might become emo b/c they like the style of it… but just because they dress and look the part dont mean that u have to start doin all that cuttin and piercing and tattooing and wat-notness… I mean if ur emo and just happen to cut or u want a tat. or u want a piercing then thats wat it iz but it dont have to have those to be emo………….so i dont think its right to judge ppl like that……. and when kids “below” 13 become emo dont mean they HATE life lol it just mean they be likin their style… and that they have an opinion on how they wanna look and dress…… lol kids get stressed ya but they dont understand all that… its like monkey see monkey do.. they see these kids in these clothes w/ these hair styles and they like it so they do it to… dont mean they are feeling the same way bout their life so ya just dont talk about sumtin u kno nuthing about… maybe u shoudl do ur h/w b4 u start makin stupid blogs like this! thnx .*luvs* ?

  52. Chris on June 21st, 2008 at 8:43 am

    I think its fine for any age to follow the trend. I mean having the hair and clothing style isnt going to hurt anyone.

    But then again, when you see 13yr emo kids in the city (sydney) with piercings, cuts up their arms, running around with a goon bag or off their face on pills, its like … woah calm down.. go watch some pokemon.. get older.. then come back lol

  53. Lydia on June 21st, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    To me, emo is just a style, and a kind of music. I’m emo, but I don’t cut myself, and I don’t believe the world is out to get me. And honestly, there shouldn’t be an age limit.

  54. heather on June 21st, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    ok, look emo is a type of music, yet it is also a style. emo doesnt nessicarely mean that you cut yourself. i wish that people would get that fucking straight. im emo =] and proud! its stupid that some people do it just for the hell of it tho. god damn fucking posers. and people tend to get the definition of emo as where you cut yourself. that isnt true. its a genre of music and a certain clothing style. so all of you that despise emo. FUCK OFF

  55. hardcore[[rock it dude]] on June 21st, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    i swear to bob this whole “emo thing” has gone too far…..hexx yeah Im emo, so what?? get over it….unless youve lived my fricken life, you wont understand!!! most of yew will NEVER understand….. its my fricken life and i want to live it the way I want to…..and yeah, I am another depressed emo kid, yeah i cut myself, and ofcourse Im always wearing black, i pierced my lips in 7th grade and i dont belive in “GOD”. theres no fricken reason for me to believe in him, but, ontop of all this, yew people are sure making it harder for me to stay alive. emo people are stronger than you think, …….for me, emo is just, ME. its nothing else but what i want to be,
    so if its not too much to ask for leave us alone
    [[WOW, i just poured my heart out to random ppl]]

  56. XxHeartBeatxX on June 21st, 2008 at 9:35 pm

    I’m young and I have been made fun of because I am emo. It sucks but people make fun of me because I am different, but I laugh at them because they are all the same.

  57. k*lyn on June 23rd, 2008 at 12:04 am

    Get over calling yourself and other people by stereotypes!! Emo has just turned into a style that tons of people follow because they think its cool. Yeah, I’m sure that people are actually “emo” but can’t they just say “I am myself”??? I’m so sick of stereotypes. That’s just like saying that everyone classified under a certain stereotype is exactly the same. I’m actually starting to hate the term emo.

  58. Myself on June 23rd, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    i think there is no age for starting to be “emo”… but i know, here in germany are not many emos over 18years old… i have to say i´m myself but if other people say “myself” is “emo”, then it is…
    “normal people” cutting themselves too, “other people” have some piercings too… emo is just collecting the best things of other genre´s: coloring hair=punk, checkered clothes=rockabilly, waering much black=gothic… so if someone is interesting in emostyle you can make what you want to do, wear what you want… but BE YOURSELF!!!

  59. THE GOOD DOC on June 24th, 2008 at 4:09 am

    YOU LITTLE BITCHES!!

    HERES WHAT THE WORLD THINKS OF EMOS :
    HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
    The most PATHETIC and USELESS TREND TO EVER EXIST!
    ” oh look at me, full of woe, let me write some poetry and short stories to hide my world of pain, my parents wont buy me the new photoshop, i cant update my myspace without it”

    FUCKING LOSERS… little bitch SPOILED brats who have really got nothing to complain about, just too self absorbed in their own bullshit and try to make a stand against ACTUAL trends.

    PLEASE do us all a favour, and keep cutting, and getting ‘ my chemical romance’ tattoos hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    FUCK you guys make the world laugh.

  60. SLICETHROAT on June 24th, 2008 at 4:13 am

    THE WORLD LAUGHS AT YOU
    EMO IS JUST A BUNCH OF SPOILED BRATS, WHO THINK ITS THE END OF THEIR WORLD BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS WONT BUY THEM THE NEW PHOTOSHOP, SO THEY CAN ACCENTUATE THEIR EYELINER, AND PALE UP THEIR SKIN.

    INFACT, KEEP CUTTING AND MAKING THE RETARDED MISTAKES BECAUSE ALL YOU DO IS MAKE THE REST OF THE WORLD SMILE.
    IDIOTS MAN.
    YOU DONT KNOW REAL PAIN. WATCH A LITTLE CHANNEL CALLED THE NEWS, WATCH THE WORLD AND THEN GO ON AND WRITE YOUR ‘ POETRY’ AND ‘SONG LYRICS’ ABOUT HOW YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH HAIR GEL.
    YOU GUYS ARE A JOKE.

    LOSER

  61. Heratic on June 25th, 2008 at 1:28 am

    @Slicethroat

    Shows the ignorance of the people who look down at us…I like to look at myself as a “intellectual” emo. i see life on all sides and that itself is depressing. Manly because there are assholes like yourself that feel a sense of threat from us. Your the type that would think that the next kid to come to school wearing a black leather trench coat will shoot up the place. Even more depressing are Adults that have “degrees” in Physiology saying that we are kids that need to be delt with, when their own kids are immature and are the ones breaking the law…NOT all emo’s cut. its a fact thats well known. but they are very few. i USED to. and i will admit it. but i am happy in the fact that i can take the responsibility for my actions.

    @doc

    What music groups do you listen to?

    Seether?
    Three days grace?

    The “Emo” Cache started with music and it has as much influences as latin is for modern english. i don’t take bullshit, and i would bet a lot of others don’t as well. NOW, if you hate us as much as you say, why did you come to this website in the first place?

  68. Daniel on June 29th, 2008 at 7:25 am

    I read similar article also named s: How Young is Too Young? | emo-news.com, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me

  69. Egor on July 4th, 2008 at 7:50 am

    Hello webmaster bees searching for short emo hair cuts and found your blog reg s: How Young is Too Young? | emo-news.com ..i have gone through your site? its very informative and useful too.. here we can learn more about marketing online?. will bookmark it and come back for more!

  70. Sydni on July 8th, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    EXCUSE ME! I’m 11 and yeah i cut myself so who the hell do you think you are!If somebody in my family is haveing a problem i don’t tell them to fucking cut themselves.I tell them to stick it out.And why don’t emo haters back the fuck off and keep it to theselves NOBODY LIKES YOU!!!It’s me it’s my style it’s my life!

    P.S I cut myself when I am mad or sad so why don’t you.Also emo haters:GO EAT SHIT!

  71. pete on July 8th, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    hi iam pete the one who wrote thoses two messages that were long. so i got to say i think people and perpys are getting mad at us because we are emo. and now that we are emo we have stolen the spot light from the perpys and others , because of the news about us and our way of looking at life , and few cuts on wrist or arms,even to emo suides and killing,by the way when news were on about a girl who was 13 years old ,who’s name was hannah and she hung herself from the bunk bed to the floor she didnt even touch the floor from an inch. It was sad because she was my friend,and if you dont belive it then look it up in on google about her death, by the way her fravoite band was m.c.r. anyway every single time when i hear my prents { mom and dad } i just feel like if i want to kill myself or kill them , and i am talking suides or murder one of thoses two choices i might pick one of theses days, and i am not kidding they just get on my f***ing nervors,i dont even care about hell i just want get away from them, and i am 12 and if i suide myself i want them to feel the pain and sadness i had,i have ranway from home up to two weeks . its just the fact that i am emo and they want me to change. and i can risk anything just for my emo trends or life style. i know i am talking crazy but it is true.so what if were emo at age 5 to 30 . it is not there choice to pick an age of when to be emo, only ourselfs, because we are all ways going to have choices no matter what and no matter what we are.plus reminber emos are not the only people on planet earth there are more different people then one. and so what if you dont like emos they might not like you,so deal with it, dont waist your time on others because you also had a choice to be what you are and when.for exsample people had choices to be emo,punk,gay,murders,belivers,perppy,rich,poor,you also would have a choice to live or die…….. so you see emos had a choice and they made one.NOW JUST DEAL WITH IT ! BECAUSE YOU CANT MAKE A DIFFERENT !

  72. bloody_lovely on July 8th, 2008 at 11:38 pm

    thankyou slicethroat. honestly. until you know real pain dont start going all emo. im just going into highschool but i know pain. sure, we are looked down upon by society but while they are happy they dont understand. being emo isnt a “style” its a “life style”. and being emo doesnt mean that you are an over sensitive person. please if half the people that think that about us had to go through whatever it was that made us like this, they would turn out the same way. so leave us alone. we dont have to explain ourselfs to you and meet your standards. by the way, cutting yourself doesnt mean you are over sensitive or crazy. how i see it, i did it because i would much rather inflict my own pain to myself and not have other people hurt me. i want to inflict my own pain. so please, leave us alone?

  73. bloody_lovely on July 8th, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    and for some reason parents dont understand that i am a reflection of them and what they have done to me without knowing it. i am a reflection of my past and my present. my parents want me to change and they say that im too grungy and what not. well too bad. they made me they will deal with what they created. and yea im only 14. doesnt mean i dont know the pain of losing someone or being shot down again and again to the point of wanting to die. so if people make fun let them. they dont know pain

  74. Midnight-Poison on July 10th, 2008 at 6:14 am

    bloody_lovely does have an exelent point!I think that is true.i’m 11 and yeah i have hade alot of times where people would just shoot me down all time.I would wish that i’d just die.

  75. ..ChArLy.. on July 10th, 2008 at 6:43 pm

    Why the hell are all these 10 and 11 yr olds telling everyone to shut the fuck up and they apparently “know everythin about emo”and the actual emos “dont know anythin”. Why dont you stfu for a change and stop showing off to your grade school friends about how emo you are. Coz the truth is, your not.Your wannabe. Oh and btw i dont give a shit about you arguing back.
    (p.s one of you 11 year olds up there “i am at the cutting stage, next i will go to clothes then hair” STAGES?? STAGES?!? shows how much u know about emo doesn’t it?! and even if emo DID start in stages, cutting wouldn’t be one.)

  78. Daniel on July 12th, 2008 at 4:58 am

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article s: How Young is Too Young? | emo-news.com, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

  79. bloody_lovely on July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 am

    I’m not sure how to take your blog Daniel. Do you mean ‘interesting’ as far as we are some sort of “species” if you will? Just for the record I don’t think that there is ever an age where it is too “young” to be “emo”. A small child of six can have endured more pain that a man or women of 40 but it doesn’t mean they understand or even know what emo is. But they do have the right and the sensibility to wish to be dead or not existent due to their situation. So no there should be no age limit put on how young one can be to feel extreme misery and pain. And most importantly there should be no age limit put on how young one can be to wish to be rid of that misery and pain.

  80. bloody_lovely on July 14th, 2008 at 4:25 am

    btw, “emo girl 3 eva” i think that for some reason you see this as a glamorous life style? Sorry but then you must want attention or something. So please do tell us. Whats so bad in your life that you feel that you have to show off how emo you are? And emo doesn’t come in “stages” it comes in an awful process. And if its so awful why am i or anyone else in it? Because we have reasons to be how we are. And quick tip. you don’t tell your parents. unless you want attention from them too. but it might not be the type of attention you were looking for.

  81. paige. on July 16th, 2008 at 6:25 pm

    It’s stupid that people feel the need to label themselves as something such as emo or chav. People should wear what they feel comfortable in, people should act how they want- not like there friends or people they look up to.

  82. Karisa on July 17th, 2008 at 4:06 am

    i love emo…..

  84. XlaughrightbackX on July 17th, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    I have always dressed emo “just love tight pants’ but I’m not an emo btw i hate it when people tag themselfs as emo’s ^^ it’s like a god damn trend lol , i would be ashamed if i would say that i was emo and ofcourse i have allot of piercings and starting at my first tattoo but serously there a kids here from 13-14 years old that have allmost more piercings then me!! and i have like upper lip snake bite, normal snake bite with labret, a septuma and 30 mm stretches and i’m 18 but i don’t do it for saying hey i’m emo or something or just for the trend. my body is art and i have always wanted piercing but i waited! and yes sometimes people yell out to me “hey u emo fuck”! nah i don’t care they are douchebags anyway, its because of u guyz that they say that to me i rather be called a freak ^^
    maybe all u young teenage emo boyz and girlz should think better and don’t go saying people to shut the fack up! and maybe u guyz just don’t really know all of being emo and stuff and don’t go being proud of it either.
    and btw for the cutting issue, i 2 have problems and had recently lost a very good friend of mine and i don’t cut myself! u have to deal with ur problems and losses and just let them go because then u find peace in it okay … so cutting or messing urself up is’t a solution!
    its just everybody want’s to be emo: they want a shit load of piercings, hair extensions in all colours, hello kitty shirts and stuff, allot want to be called brutal in there nicknames because it’s thug and in the end they will all look the same! go and be original!

    so i don’t really give a fack about this all ! it’s just annoying to see young people being to extreem and careless and all want to join this hype.

    no hard feelings u guyz just saying my thing!
    grtz

  85. Brady on July 19th, 2008 at 5:05 am

    im not Emo or scene but i think the scene girks and some emo girls are the hotist girls around

  86. Ms. Black Rose on July 20th, 2008 at 4:02 am

    this makes some sense because how would you feel if your little 10 year old bro or sis was cutting? you cannot tell me that you would seriously just be like… “oh, well, it’s their decision.” cause seriously if you think that way you are a heartless bastard!

    ~Emo Bitch

  87. Moi on July 22nd, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    I agree with most posts. Emo isn’t just cutting yourself, as a lot of people who don’t seem to understand think. When a person hears the word Emo, they think cutting, depression and bloody scars. All that junk. Emo is more of a sense of style these days. More like hair styles than clothes. A person can be emo even if they don’t cut. So a kid who’s in 6th grade who has an emo hairstyle and doesn’t cut can be considered emo.

    I’m in 8th grade and I’m called emo all the time just because my hair is purple and is a different style than most others. Doesn’t mean I cut. Just means I have an “emo” hairstyle.

    So I don’t really think a person can be “too young to be emo” unless their like 2 years old and don’t have any hair.

    That phrase bugs me now…

    Not all emo or scene kids cut just like not all preps get pregnant at 14

  90. AaBbIiGgAaIiLl on July 24th, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    I think emo-news.com is very good! But I disagree with the part about cutting your wrists! Yeah, some emos do it but I know loads of emos and only 2 or 3 of them cut their wrists. Also if a young person (10, 11 or 12) came on this website, because they was planning on becoming an emo, and they read this report, they might think cutting their wrists is the right thing to do!! Hopefully from this report, kids who want to be emos wait until they are older.
    I really like this website because it isn’t like other sites, all the other emo websites tell you what to do and if you don’t do it your not emo. Emo is about being your self and doing what you want not what other people want. I went on this website and it had a list of what you had to do to be emo.
    I think emo is a style. I love the fashion and hair and everything!!
    I came across this really good website about emo hair styles, and it was such a big help, go on to that website when you need help with an emo hairstyle! http://www.xx-emocuts-xx.piczo.com

  91. catherine on July 24th, 2008 at 11:27 pm

    okay im 12 an emo..

  92. angryemogirl on July 28th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

    i don’t think you can choose when to have dark thougts, thats called being a poser! besides not many peopel under 13 are gonna be gettin tatoo’s etc….

  93. Lexi on July 29th, 2008 at 2:08 am

    It’s wrong to act like you know what your talking about. I know for a fact that your wrong. You shouldn’t tell people how old that they need to be to decide how you dress, act, or even if they cut themselves. Also, you think that I really chose to be emo. I didn’t say one day that I would become emo. It just happen. Stop acting like you know what your talking about because, you don’t!

  94. Twinkle on July 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

  96. Isaac on August 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm

    Errr well i’m 11 just going into secondery and i am well not like hardcore emo and all that stuff. I dress the style, i listen to the music and i have emo hair. I’m not that bothered about age, i think any age is fine really.

    I’m kinda like quoting or whatever it’s called….

    # (RANDOM EMO CHICK) on June 14th, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    I am 10 yrs old and I am so emo. I have the hair the clothes and everything else to be emo. My parents dont even know what emo means and I do wear color emo isnt wearing black and grey. Thats gothic. Even tho i am emo I do wear pink becuz its not the color you wear but the style of what you wear. I dont have tats or piercings and I dont cut my self. People believe being Emo is believing in the “DEVIL” but its not. I know the meaning of emo. So go get urself a dictionary!

    ___________________________________________________________
    About the clothes you said about colours,
    You said wearing grey and black is gothic..?

    I wear Black and Pink. I’m a boy too. I also wear lots of bright colours against black and stuff. Being emo isn’t all sad dull colours like Black with White all the time. kk?

  97. Isaac on August 3rd, 2008 at 11:09 pm

    You don’t have to be like that. My friends (most of them) are emo and they dress pretty normally so i guess it isn’t actually about how you look.

  98. PrettyPunkGirl on August 4th, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    i Am Thirteen. And I Emo..
    But I Think Itss Too Young When Someone Is Tryna Be Emo When They Are Under 11..
    And Not All Emo’s Cut.

  103. savannah on August 20th, 2008 at 11:08 pm

    Im 12 and i cut myself a little. just for a distractions. last year i started off in a class where i knew no one, all the ables were filled and i wasnt popular. then they started calling me emo and… i liked it, so i started dressing like it. just a little. then i got my first bf and my grandma died so i dumped him (that and his friends were totally @$$#013s. they started making fun of me and so i continued with dressing in black and eyeliner. the cuts were and still are a great distraction to the fact that half of my family are on thier death beds. but you have to admit, im doing pretty well since i’m not a junkie

  104. Max (i am female) on August 25th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    OKay,
    i’m 14 i cut for about 2 years…
    I have just recently stopped. I just want to say it doesn’t really solve anything at all. It just causes more pain. Sure you know you can “still feel” But seriously just talk to someone. And if you can’t talk to your family talk to your friends. I’m sure they’ll listen. Wow i feel like Dr.Phill for fuck’s sake. But Ya know what i mean. It’s baddd I almost killed myself like 3times. I’m not trying to stop anyone or anything, Do whatever the hell you want. But just think about it..
    On a different note…
    Emogirls and Emoguys are HOTT as hell!
    and the style is awesome XD
    And for all the stupid dumb ass haters
    who don’t like people who express they’re feelings!
    SCREW YOU! we are reaL and maybe if you go to know us
    you would think differently

    I don’t agree with you, Sarah.
    If my brother looked up at me,
    it would be because of personality,
    not style.

    And I can asure you that you are mistaken
    with the hypocrite.
    They seem to know more about emo’s
    than you do, apparently.

    And kids and people should love life
    since you only live it once,
    and not going around cutting yourself
    or wasting time with straightners and make up.

  108. cody on September 17th, 2008 at 12:12 am

    for all you little newfags out there, like under 14, just shut up. youve barely experinced life. im 16, and people call me emo, although id prefer hardcore or just plain brutal. also, if i cut myself, i dont go flaunting it, its supposed to be a private way of stress dealing. and yes, it is an addiction. you make me sick to try and flaunt the supposedly private things. your not emo, your just trying for attention. and youll probably do something stupid and end up dying because of it. because remeber, your veins are only so deep.. and try telling the stories of your scars to your concerned friends.
    so if your under fourteen, theres no way your emo, your just lame. end of story

  111. PierreHaddad on October 2nd, 2008 at 5:52 am

    Emo as a music genre..it’s cool..but emo, as a lifestyle..hmmm..not so cool. I think emo has become synonymous to young adults’ suicidal tendencies. This is the depressing part of being an emo.

  112. HEDpekicksass on October 8th, 2008 at 6:37 am

    Yeah, well you can be “emo” whenever the hell you feel like it. I USED to cut myself, but I dress like a REAL punk/metalhead. I am not “emo” in the trendy meaning of the word. Damn I don’t dress like that! t-shirts and jeans is all I wear.=]

    If my little brother begins cutting, I’m gonna have a little talk with him no matter how old he is.

  113. otaku on October 12th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    I feel like bashing this whole post,
    thanks,
    I don’t like the way kids look up to the whole style.
    I’ve seen 9 year olds doing the whole look, with fishnet gloves and converse sneakers,
    skinny jeans and the typical Blink 182 tee.
    As much as I love the band,
    I just laugh.
    I do agree,
    the whole style is best left to the older kids.
    Although I disagree with this:
    “Also, kids should wait until they’re a bit older before they start despairing about how terrible life is and how emotionally distraught they are”
    No,
    nobody fucking should.
    Ever.
    Get a therapist,
    If need be.
    Jeez.

    Ok honestly I love the emos ([???]) really shouldn’t care what others think I don’t I’m 14 in goth in damn proud of it ([???]) don’t have ? cut your self juss cuz your emo some goths cut ? ([???]) can take your depression out on writing poems & songs that describe how ([???]) feel listen to your fav songs write your own doesn’t matter do ([???])

    I don’t really think age should matter because you might have had a bad experience when ([???]) were younger maybe something happened that made ([???]) get a real perspective on life ([???]) juss might like the clothes or what ever made ? turn…

    Damn I hate when the kids in mii school start judging by the way someone looks if your not sure what they are juss ask most of them are nice ppl I think emos in goths both rock but I can’t tell ? what ([???]) should think is best all I can say is be true ? ya self & don’t give a fuck what anyone els thinks your ([???]) that’s all that matters

    If got something personal ([???]) want ? say or juss wanna talk go ?

    Hmm. I am 11 and I’m emo. It just allows me to get feelings out. And write poetry. And sit alone listening to Alter Bridge^^
    I’m sk8r. Got a problem? Pick a window.
